Book Reviews of Peak Learning
Book Review: A life-centering guide for lifelong learning.
Summary: 5 Stars
For decades Ronald Gross has been bearing the torch for lifelong learning with unrelenting enthusiasm. I'll never forget many years ago discovering the first edition of his book, "The Independent Scholar's Handbook." It gave me the confidence I needed at the time to take self-education seriously. What I would have given to have had a book like "Peak Learning" when I began my journey of lifelong learning.My philosophy of autodidactic learning is to think of an education not as something you get but as something you take. The new edition of "Peak Learning" shows you how to proceed on such a journey for yourself. Ronald Gross gives practical advice that seems like common sense, except that traditional education in America is far too focused on predetermined outcomes and spoon-fed knowledge. Many people who think themselves to be highly educated have little sense of their own strengths and learning styles. The result is a life of frustration and often a haunting feeling of inadequacy because they have never truly experienced the exhilaration of discovery based upon quenching their own thirst for knowledge.
In "Peak Learning," Ronald Gross shows you how to gain the kind of confidence that will allow you to take charge of your education and dramatically change your life. Highly recommended
